Hello All;

MP3's downloaded or copied from any source when burned on a CD to be played on a 5.1 Surround Home music player do not have the effect. I have noticed that some songs that I burned recently had this effect but not all. I presume that the 5.1 Surround quality comes from how these MP3's are recorded or something in the likes of a bit rate. My question is say I do not want to check on these aspects each time I burn MP3 audio files to a CD or DVD is there a software that takes care of encoding the MP3 in such a way that it plays or simulates a 5.1 Surround Output on a Home music player?

I didn't even finish reading your post but mp3 is limited to 2 channel stereo so upconverting it to 5.1 is not really gonna work however most home theater sound decoders can simulate 4 & 5.1 surround or ac3 I notice a very bad hollow sound when doing this and much better results in the 2.1 or dolby surround modes. Lots of people who convert movies from divx to dvd notice this because you can't really take the file up that way with a a degradation in the sound quality.

Thank you for your reply elliott, I understand what you are saying. From the looks of it only some songs are that are played on my home theater sound are decoded and simulated.

I usually use the prolic mucic preset equalizer setting to experience this effect. I will check if Dolby will help.

I believe you answer lies here. Read the complete thread since your answer is mentioned late. If not, at least you have members to ask.
